Acetyl hexapeptide-3 and zinc
Keep them apart
Use zinc and acetyl hexapeptide-3 at different times of day, applying zinc in the morning and the peptide at night, because they clash and cancel each other out. Zinc blocks the peptide from smoothing fine lines and keeping skin firm. The shopper can separate them into morning and evening routines to get the full benefits of both products.
